highly significantP << 2.2 × 10 −16
Comparing the probeset response slopes predicted by our model with the slopes obtained from the Affymetrix tissue panel data, we detected a highly significant correlation both in mouse and human (Pearson correlation coefficient in mouse 0.528, P << 2.2 × 10 −16 , and in human 0.468, P << 2.2 × 10 −16 ).
